Soon it'll be 2 months of joblessness, and I've FINALLY come to realize that I haven't given myself a tangible personal project apart from sifting through old Youthquake issues and sending job apps while FORGETTING to put in a photograph. =___=
So, I've decided to brush up my writing skills.
You guys know that 100_kisses challenge and stuff? Let's start out smaller:
The 22 Themes Challenge!OK here's the deal:
1. EVERYONE gives me a theme EACH. If you don't gimme a theme, I'll pick the first word I think of when I get out of bed.
2. I pick 22, and write 22 short stories. Art skills permitting, I'll even attempt to illustrate a scene.
3. I get personal satisfaction, and you all get good karma for helping a person. Plus if you're into that sorta thing, you get to read twenty-two stories by ME. X3 (Assuming I am still making a doujin with BMJ, 3 will be chosen for publishing)
So maybe you have some questions, like "what qualifies as a theme?"
- Single words, one-word thingies. That sort.
- A quote from ANYTHING - Anime episode, book, movie, philosopher, lyric, etc. It DOESN'T have to be one-word. PLEASE, mention your source.
"Somewhat pushing it, but I might give it a try..."
- Ask me to end/begin a story with a particular line/phrase - like the essays we did/do in school.
- Request something specific - a BL scene, a scene describing war, etc.
"Bloody NO."
- NO specific requests like "Can you write a short story where Cagalli meets Relena Peacecraft and they sip tea and think about new ways to find peace without using Gundams?"
- NO extremely descriptive sex scenes - you want that, there's tons of smut writers out there, you just haven't looked hard enough.
- Fanfics.
What happens if I don't have an LJ to comment on to give you your theme?"There ya go, I'll be crossposting it there. Besides good karma, why else should I give you a theme? This may be the only time I will write a short story about boobies if YOU REQUEST IT. Think about that. XD
Oh, and why 22?It's my age.
